• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I've been enjoying this thread and Big Timmy's contributions to it :thumbsup:
I learned to ride at Carnegie almost 30 years ago. Yeah, it's full of big hill climbs but there is also some pretty hairy single track there if you know where to look. There's a roped-off kiln tucked away in the back from when it was a brick factory. When the rains would be heavy bricks would sometimes wash down out of the hills and collect in the seasonal creek that runs along the front. I have a few in my backyard :)

This is me getting a big fat ticket at Carnegie in...1985 or 1986, maybe?

That pic is a classic. Props to whoever snapped that photo for being a "Johnny on the spot" with the camera. No camera phones back then... Let me take a wild guess, is that a YZ125 or an old WR (Yamaha) maybe ? The white fender
is throwing me off... Husky ??? EDIT: Oops , Guess I shoulda kept reading as I now see I wasn't even close. My next guess would've been an RM80 though, really...:D
 
That sounds about right. I always kick a new helmet down a flight of stairs for that first nick or scratch without my head in it. Or drive over a new riding jersey and leave a tire track on it before I wear it. Superstitious I guess. Done it for years.
I'm glad you brought this up. I got a few new riding jerseys on sale a few months back so I need to do that to them first before I wear them.
